X Factor: It’s just a show?

PEOPLE ask me why I seem so aggressively anti X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent. I have had personal dealings with both programmes and have seen up close how these programmes can destroy talented young people, who believe if they fail on them their careers are over!

I was regularly called by Syco (Cowell’s company) and asked if I had any artists I was working with that could be fast tracked through to the latter stages.
